002 & 003: Cheap Tragedies & Eating Glass

ANX002: Cheap Tragedies


Cleveland's finest needs no introduction in DIY hardcore, from the first generation Clevo-core of Face Value to his place in the rise of chaotic, volatile hardcore in the 90s. When the Kids were sitting cross-legged on VFW Hall floors, Erba & Co. was throwing hammers at them with bands like H100s and 9 Shocks Terror. Erba saved my life, showed my me a lot of really sick snuff, and once staple gunned a hat to my head. Still pissed, he's teamed up with some sweet dudes who've put in their own time in bands like Committed, Holy Fucking Crap, Iron Teeth, Names For Graves, Amps II Eleven, and The Lovekill. Pissed off punk rants that could only come from the working class midwest, plus 2 covers of early 80's Cleveland legends the Guns. 

Hot on its heels comes more Southern Ontario jams: 

ANX003: Eating Glass


Feed Them To The Vultures EP - Nine fast, pissed tracks from Eating Glass, a thrashy Ontario hardcore punk band influenced by bands like Cut the Shit, Wolfbrigade and XFilesX. Do it. Do it. Do it do it do it do it do it. These hard working, prematurely balding kids rule.
